The Professional: Part 2 by Kresley Cole
5.0
Oh. My. God. This is pure torture. Reading this book in three parts is horrible… I WANT TO KNOW WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN!!! Thank you so much Kresley/Jean Anne for giving me an ARC of The Professional: Part 2 via NetGalley. I was so happy when I got the email last night, a great way to start the year!
The Professional: Part 2 starts, obviously, right after the end of Part 1. And what an end! I was sucked back into the book right away, I’ve read it in like, 2 hours, and it was amazing. You should read my review of Part 1 to really understand my feelings because not much has changed apart from the fact that I love Sevastyan even more. This guy is such a complex and dark character! He is so mysterious and hard but at the same time he can be very tender, it’s very contradictory.
Natalie or Natalya pissed me off. I need to tell you this because she really did. The first part of the book I wanted to punch her. Badly. She’s in a difficult and confusing situation, I understand that completely but the way she reacted was not cool. Sevastyan is not a good guy, I get that too but she acted like he was at fault for everything… Fortunately, in the second part of the book, she was great. She realized her mistakes and was great with my sexy Russian Enforcer.
In so little time so much happened. I loved that! The book is not very long, maybe 120 pages but Kresley is an amazing writer and without rushing anything she wrote a story full of surprises and action. I even cried. Yes, I do cry all the time but still. I did. I was not expecting so much actually. I mean, yes I was but it was still a surprise.
I knew I had a reason to not like creepy Filip, the cousin. Kovalev, Natalie’s father, is such a great character. Like I said in my review of Part 1, I was expecting him to be anything but what he truly is. He is so caring and fun and gentle. There aren’t a lot of secondary characters, the story is really focused on Natalie and Sevastyan and I like that as well.
In Part 2 they get even closer. They explore their relationship even more and due to certain events they have to stay close together. I loved that part of the book, Natalie is really starting to fall for him. It’s really unexpected for her, he is so not what she envisaged in a “boyfriend”. Firstly, he’s older than her, maybe by 10 years? I’m not sure. Secondly, well, he’s an assassin. Simple as that. He’s a fighter and a violent man but she knows that, no matter what, he would never hurt her. Thirdly, he’s VERY possessive and overbearing (in a sexy way). But she cannot help it, she sees something more in him, he rouses something new in her and she wants more. She wants to take care of him in some way and that is so sweet and beautiful.
Sevastyan is so much more than an alpha-male. It’s not even comparable. I just love him!!! The way he is with Natalie is so beautiful. He tries to be good with her, he doesn’t want to hurt her and…ugh…with his tattoos, scars and Russian accent…what can I say, I fell. I love when he speaks Russian to her and when he wants her to speak Russian to him, it’s so freaking sexy!
Their relationship is complicated. I can’t say much, that’s why I’m being evasive, because I really want you to enjoy it full force when you read it. But they both deserve a Happy Ending and I know and hope they will have one together.
The sex, guys. The sex scenes were incredible. Kresley is just too much. She needs to stop (this is a joke). Whether they had sex or were just fooling around it was freaking hot and intense. I can’t even begin to imagine what’s gonna happen in Part 3 with the way Part 2 ended…
The ending is even more frustrating than in Part 1, I didn’t want it to end like that AT ALL. Once again, it’s not a bad cliffhanger. It’s a good one, a very good one and I am so excited and impatient for the last part now! I want to know how Kresley is going to end this great and intense story!
A few Russian words/sentences that I loved and that made my girlie parts tingle (said by my Russian Enforcer, of course):
